Ya-Taki Sushi
- 1 cup sushi rice, cooked and seasoned (I recommend Minado's Perfect Sushi Rice)
- 2 sheets nori (roasted)
- 1 small sweet potato, peeled and chopped
- 5 shiitake mushrooms, dried
- 12 teaspoon soy sauce
- 12 teaspoon mirin
- 12 teaspoon sesame oil
- Boil the sweet potato until tender.
- Steam the mushrooms until tender.
- Place the potato, mushrooms and liquids in a bowl and either mash or blend together.
- If you have a sushi rolling mat lay it on the table, otherwise lay a clean tea towel down and cover it with cling film.
- Lay a sheet of nori on top shiny side down, if it is untoasted you may wish to briefly pass it through a flame.
- And place a layer of sushi rice on top.
- For thin sushi layer about 1/8 inch thick and for fat rolls layer about 1/4 - 1/2 think, leaving a gap of around 1 inch at each side.
- Spread the mix in a line about 1 inch from the edge of the rice.
- I like to puree my mix and pipe a line using an icing bag.
- Starting at the edge roll up like a Swiss roll keep the rolling a tight as possible using the sushi mat/towel to aid the process.
- When you reach the end moisten the remaining edge with water and stick down.
- Roll up in the towel and allow to sit while you make the rest.
- Using a wet, sharp knife slice into 1/2 inch thick slices.
- Remove the ends and eat.
- Place the rest on a platter and serve.
